Chapter 816: The Child (3)
Hearing Asmodeos's return, Ahriman was surprisingly not angry, he sneered a few times in the dark: "He still doesn't want to give up," the voice of the giant serpent directly reached Asmodeos's consciousness, this feeling of being directly invaded made the most powerful devil have a crazy impulse, but in the end he was suppressed by himself: "Who do you think he will give his last power to?"
Asmodeos licked his lips, his body was thirteen feet tall, but it was not as tall as one of its scales in front of the bastard snake, in fact, he couldn't see the head of Ahriman, nor could he see his tail, "Is it still the same one?"
"What if not?" said the serpent, "You know, that one is special." He thought for a moment, "Do you know what makes him special?"
Asmodeus thought about it, because of Ahriman's request, he had been with the lich Cremar for a while, in order to ensure that he was not exposed, he even erased the memory and most of the power of the incarnation, to make him say, the black-haired dragonborn may be so willing to directly promote the former as the great devil, but such a soul can not be said to be many, but not a lot, as for the other soul, the devil feels that the messenger of the good god in the upper plane will be happy to greet him, the devil has also tried to make him fall, but it has not succeeded, to be honest, he hates this kind of stubborn person the mostγ Isn't it fun to do something evil once in a while?
"He doesn't belong to the plane. Ahriman said, "Or more accurately, he doesn't belong to any of the planes here." β
Asmodeos' eyes widened.
"That is to say," Ahriman continued, "the law here has no constraints on himβdo you know what that means?"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Impossible!" cried Drew, one of the twelve Electors of Tara, the king of Tara, his parchment clutched tightly in his hands, his eyes full of incredulity.
"There's nothing surprising about that. One of the mages beside him bowed first, then whispered, "We shouldn't have believed the words of a Dragonborn of Grenada, he is a descendant of the evil Red Dragon, and the words that come out of his mouth are nothing but lies and hypocritical sycophants. β
"But he ......"
"The Emperor of Falun is the weakest link among the twelve Electors," the mage said calmly, "If we continue to fight at that time, it may be any one of you who will become the Emperor, but it cannot be the Emperor, he has no territory and no army." He has bewitched you," the mage continued, "to make you think that war is undesirable and that the Emperor's throne is out of reach, but who knows, maybe in a few years, you, of course, the greatest possible will be you, and you will be able to conquer other nations and reunite the Falun, and the Emperor's crown will be worn not only on your head, but also on your son, your grandson...... And the heads of countless descendants, instead of every few decades, it must be handed over to someone who may not be fit to be emperor at all, and in order to get it again, your descendants will equally need to fight, need to be bought, bribed, and play with yΔ«n tricks. He shook his head, "What could have been done once and for all, Your Majesty, has been turned into a pit by you." β
Drew stiffened, the mage's words buzzing in his head, and he sat down, his head resting on his hand in a dejected manner, ambition and remorse beating against his sanity.
The mage bowed to him again, "I think you definitely need a quiet place to think, please allow me to leave, Your Majesty." He walked out without waiting for Drew's permission, and in the hallway, a subtle smile appeared on the mage's face, and he put his hand on his chest, and under his clothes was a disguised crest of the god of yΔ«n, because of the instigation of the dragonborn Cremar, those kings and archdukes were wary of the believers and priests of Shirek, but it didn't matter, they could incarnate anyone at any time, their favorite concubines, courtiers, Guards or mages, Ciric never minded his emissaries disguising themselves when necessary, even wearing the emblem of the gods, as long as they remembered to defile and destroy them when the work was done.
Something like this happened in the eleven electors of the Falun Empire, although the people who spoke may not be mages, but their words were like hardened nails into the hearts of the emperors.
Although there is also a weak counter-argument that even if the emperor had children, he should act according to the covenant and that after his death, not let his son succeed to the throne of the emperor, but choose one of the twelve electors - but ask yourself, who would not want to leave such a large and rich empire to their descendants, and do not forget that the fall of Falun more than a thousand years ago was caused by the new king's insistence on the complete destruction of his gifted brother in order to keep the throne of himself and his descendants from being shaken.
"Look, how easy. The mage muttered.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Look, how easy. On the peak of arrows, the Emperor of Falun also let out such a sigh, and the other soul in Kremar's body did not want to see this scene. He has no pursuit of power, but he is full of compassion for mankind, and he came up with this system only to curb the seemingly never-ending war that spreads across the earth, but what does this system do to the Dragonborn? He doesn't care at all, he deprives the Falun Emperor, that is, the deformed monster, of his dignity, and exposes his miserable inner self to humanity, and he even cruelly does not give him hope, but gives him a bleak ending- The dragon Io couldn't imagine how the original emperor had supported him, and in the decades that followed, he saw his end as clearly as if he had turned a book to the end, with no descendants, no lovers, no one would shed tears for him, and humans would only celebrate his death with their hands and raise their glasses.
His response made the dragon Io feel ashamed, yes, he knew how humble his life was, but he still didn't want to give up, he couldn't even show the courage to resist, but wanted to spend his life in a mess like a human.
It would have been easy to break the covenant, since Cremar had declared that he could not have an heir of his own, then he had one, and it did not matter if it was his, but the child would be the sharpest needle to pierce the hypocrisy, the illusion of tenderness, and sure enough, at a public party, he took out a child, proclaimed him his son and heir, and cheered loudly and ecstatically to his people, while the messengers of the king and the archduke seemed to know that they had swallowed a cup of incurable poisoned wineγ
He put the child in his room and waited quietly.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The black-haired Dragonborn disappeared irresponsibly for three years, but the people who saw him still involuntarily bowed to him and let him go [Reading at Zero], he nodded lightly as always, and walked lightly through the crowd, he stopped in front of the emperor's room, the heavy double doors opened in front of him, and countless eyes followed him into the room, but had to regretfully stop before the closed door.
The soul of the other world fell on that cradle for the first time, and he almost immediately made a judgment that this was not the emperor's blood, and he was not even a dragonborn.
He turned to face the Emperor, and the lich in the sea tensed his body, his hands clenched into fists, "Who are you?" asked the otherworldly spirit.
The Emperor smiled, "Who are you?" he asked mockingly.
The soul of the other world was silent for a moment: "I am me, but you are not you." β
The emperor's smile widened, and the eyes of the souls of the other world were suddenly occupied by a burst of bright white light, they had been pulled into his realm by Afra before, although he had forgotten under the spell of the dragon Io, but similarly, it was more powerful and the feeling suddenly made it realize what kind of situation it was in, after a short period of panic, its heart suddenly calmed down, they had already seen orcs, giants, dragons, demons, demons, demigods, then according to the order, they should also see a god.
- In this plane, even the gods can only be projected or incarnated or manifested as the Sage, the Lich reminded with difficulty, but this one ...... Your Majesty, His power has reached its peak......
- Well, I know, the soul of the other world says that the biggest of the ants.
"So," he asked bluntly, "Do you want to be the biggest?"
He didn't wait for Cremar's answer, "My existence is not very reasonable," he said, "I died in front of you, remember? I chose Gredy, although she is not my expected heir, but as you can see, she did not get my power, on the contrary, she was killed and devoured by the avatar of the gods, six gods, which is a bit of an honor, isn't it?"
The Otherworldly Soul took a deep breath and nodded.
"Do you know that my essence and Godhead, that rune disk, was once hidden in your soul after that?"
At this moment, the soul of the other world was really a little surprised.
"It seems you don't know," said the dragon Io, gazing at the lich's soul, and in the sea of knowledge, the fire of the lich's eyes flickered, indicating that he was indeed a little ...... Weak-hearted: "It seems that your companion didn't tell you. β
He waited for the otherworldly soul to react, and what he didn't expect was that after a moment, the alien soul calmed down, "Well," it said, "I see." β
"Don't you have anything to say?" asked the dragon Io curiously, "Even without me, the outsider, you need not fear him, you should know that your soul may no longer be pure, but it is like tempered steel, indestructible, if you want to destroy him completely, expel him, and occupy this body...... It's not hard, my dear, it's not hard at all, I can swear to Styx. β
Lich: With a grin on his face and an MMP in his heart.
"What do you want to tell me?" The Otherworldly Soul didn't answer the dragon Io's question, it looked at him with a determined, unshakable gaze, "What do you want me to do?"
The dragon Io's provocation was unsuccessful, and he turned his head in boredom and stretched out his finger for the baby in the cradle to grasp: "A small thing. β
"The previous ......," the otherworldly soul asked hesitantly.
"This is the second time," said the dragon Io, who held out his finger and returned his previous memories to the other party, "When I brought you out of that little girl's realm, I asked you if you wanted to inherit my inheritance. β
......
"It seems that you still don't want to. Io the dragon smiled and said on his behalf, "Then we can make the matter more profound, my dear child, and know how generous I am - you will receive all my powers, godheads, and priesthoods, etc., in fact, this priesthood can only be said to be better than nothing, I am the god of dragons, and there are no dragons in this plane, and you have no responsibilities to bear- Only powerful, extremely powerful, not to mention a demigod like Afra, even a powerful god of yΔ«n or a god of justice must be humble to you, and when the primordial gods withdraw from this plane, you may become a god second only to the gods above the gods - ah, you must think I'm talking nonsense, after all, I'm ...... It's so weak, so lowly, but that's because the law is suppressing me, just as it used to suppress Gredi and Ingwe, you should have heard their names...... You've seen them, you've seen them, an elephant confined to an ant's body. β
"But you're different, a guest from another world," the dragon Io retracted his baby's sucking fingers, "You're special, you...... Stand outside the law, you ......" he stared at the black-haired Dragonborn, "you can do whatever you want." β
"No way. The soul of the other world said, as before, "I am also ...... here Constraints of the law. "You have to take turns controlling this body with the lich, you have to endure the backlash of the opposing bloodline, and you need to learn and connect to cast spells.
"Then try?" said the dragon Io, seductively, "Honey, you are like an ignorant child, you think you are weak and powerless, you are afraid of the world, but in fact, it is the world that fears youβafter you have all that I have, how far can you go, even I can't imagineβor, your power is not limited to hereβhave you ever thought of going back?" he said. Don't you want a soldier who becomes a knight who will carry a banner and a servant through the paths of his hometown, a wandering merchant who will throw copper coins along the door of his neighbor's house, and you will bring back a whole world where your relatives can become your gods, and your lover will sit side by side with you on the throne of the gods, and your friends, or whoever you like, can enjoy eternal joy and glory in the kingdom of your gods?"
